O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

It’s strange there hasn’t been a response from Mr Hancock’s shadow Jonathan Ashworth, maybe a case of he who is without sin cast the first stone 🤔

Strange that that is your first thought.

It's not even true

Not too many years ago, most ministers, of either political persuasion, caught breaking the rules would resign. Then after an 18mnth-2 year period would more often than not, return to the fold in a very similar or slightly lower ranking position. Honour satisfied, jobsagudden. Even though that system was bordering on farce, I think I much preferred it to the present day one of never resigning, regardless.

I can't remember who said it but I always liked this description of Matt Hancock... 'He's the bloke who looks like an estate agent your older sister only went out with because he had a car'

Not my first thought MP, that was what a tw@t Mr Hancock was but it isn’t really worth posting that as it’s patently obvious.

Not being on Twitter I haven’t seen any response from Mr Ashworth he is usually not shy of being on tv and it was strange seeing Ms Dodds instead.
